1. Introduction

2. Care and maintenance

2.1 Recommendations

• Like all micro-mechanical precision instruments, your

Hamilton watch should be checked at least once

every two years. Entrust your watch to an authorized

Hamilton repair center or to any other professional

watch service.

• To keep your watch water-resistant, make sure that

its sealing features are tested at every check-up.

• Do not move the crown when you are in water.

• Rinse o your watch with fresh water after any immer-

sion in seawater.

• Dry your watch whenever it gets wet.

• Have your watch checked for water-resistance by an

authorized Hamilton retailer or by any other profes-

sional watch service each time the case is opened.

2.2 Water-resistance

The water-resistance of your watch is indicated on the

case back.

Water resistance and equivalent pressure used in Anglo-

Saxon countries:

Unit of measure Water resistance categories available

atm (overpressure) 3 5 10 20 100

psi 44 72,5 145 290 1450

ft * 100 165 330 660 3300

Water resistance and equivalent pressure used in coun-

tries using metric systems:

Unit of measure Water resistance categories available

bar 3 5 10 20 100

m * 30 50 100 200 1000

* The values given in feet or meters of immersion in

water are equivalent to the degree of overpressure

applied during the tests according to the ISO 

standard.

2.3 Leather straps

Hamilton recommends that you follow the steps below

in order to preserve the condition of your leather strap

for as long as possible:

• Avoid contact with water and dampness to prevent

discoloration and deformation.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent the

color from fading.

• Do not forget that leather is permeable! Therefore

avoid contact with greasy substances and cosmetic

products.

• If you have a problem with your leather strap, please

contact your nearest Hamilton retailer.

2.4 Batteries

Watch batteries can last between two and ve years,

depending on the watch type, its size and the amount

of energy used by the various functions.

Replacing the battery

We recommend that you contact an approved Hamilton

service center or authorised Hamilton retailer, as they

are equipped with the tools and apparatus required to

carry out the work and the necessary checks in a profes-

sional manner. A worn-out battery should be replaced

immediately in order to reduce the risk of leakage and

consequent damage to the movement.

Battery type

Button-type zinc-silver oxide primary battery cell.

2.5 Magnetic ﬁelds

To prevent malfunctions of your watch, avoid com-

ing into contact with magnetic elds such as those of

magnets, loudspeakers, cell phones, refrigerators, etc.

4.1 Pilot chrono

This specic function logs the key stages of a ight or

ights. It is possible to memorize up to 20 ights of 99

cycles each. After the operations, a “Logbook” allows

restoration of the data. A simplied illustration of the

functioning of these operations is presented on the

cover of this manual.

Denitions

Block time (“bloc” on the screen): The block time starts

when the airplane moves for the rst time from a sta-

tionary position, and nishes when the airplane reaches

a nal stationary position with all motors stopped.

Cycle (“Cyc” on the screen): Landing and takeo within

the same block time.

“VFR/IFR”: The “VFR” (Visual Flight Rules) conditions are

applicable to visual ight, “IFR” (Instrument Flight Rules)

to ying on instruments. By default, the watch logs the

ight in “VFR” mode.

4.2 Data logging

Starting a block time

. In position (p1) turn the crown to access the display

“bLoc T” or “bL CLo”.

. A double press on button C starts the rst block

timing and the display indicates “bL Run”.

4. Pilot functions

Takeo

. A short press of button

C

starts the logging of the

rst takeo. The display indicates “bL TK oF”.

. A short press of button A switches from “VFR” mode

to “IFR” mode, and vice versa.

. A short press of button B briey displays the number

of cycles, after which the display returns to “VFR” or

“IFR”.

In the example, no landing has yet been made so the

number of cycles displayed is 00.

Landing

. A short press of button C upon landing stops the

timing and memorizes the rst ight time. the display

indicates “bL Lnd”, the block number and the ight

time, which ashes.

. A short press of button B briey displays the number

of cycles, after which the display returns to “bL Lnd”.

In the example, the rst landing has been made so

the number of cycles displayed is 01.

Stopping the block time

A double press on button C stops the timing of the rst

block time and memorizes it. The display indicates “bL

CLo”, the block number and the time elapsed between

block 01, 02, etc.

4. Pilot functions

4.3 “Logbook” function

Display and selection of block , , etc.

. In position (p) turn the crown to access the display

“Lo Run”.

. A short press of button A or B allows selection and

scrolling in ascending or descending order of the logs

of each block, and of the total “to” made up by blocks

, , etc.

Restoration of data

Starting with the block or total selected, each short press

on button

C

displays the results of each block or the

total, in hours and minutes.

Example:

Starting time of block Time of rst takeo

Time of last landing Ending time of block

Flight time in “VFR” mode Flight time in “IFR” mode

Flight time Total ight + waiting time

Number of block cycles

4. Pilot functions

and deletes the chosen block.

NB: If the total “to” is chosen, a long press on

button A denitively deletes all the memorized logs.

. Push the crown back to position (p1) to return to

the basic display. The block numbers remaining are
